Donegal. The capacity of the system should be sufficient to accommodate thee existing designated buildings and a 1,860 Mยฒ proposed extension to CoLab building. The heating season is generally from September to May and the peak load is approx. 900 kW. The proposed Biomass Heat Centre will be required to provide a minimum of 85 % of the peak load. The distribution system should be sized for a further 3,300 mยฒ educational building. The project intends to follow the process outlined in SEAI's Framework for Energy Performance Contracts (EPC)/Local Energy Supply Contracts (LESC) projects and will seek to provide comprehensive and quality information regarding the facilities to the shortlisted tenderers. The final project scope will be decided during competitive dialogue with qualified service providers and will change from that developed at Stage 2 under SEAI's handbook on Energy Performance Contracts. Full details of the SEAI Framework are available from www.seai.ie. A PIN notice has been dispatched to the OJEU
